The Best Free Thing In Youth Ministry (that you might not even be using).
What are we going to do next? What do we have planned?
It's something we say often as youth ministry leaders, but is that really all there is? Is ministry just a matter of planning?
Do we really need a better calendar? Is all about what we can plan?
We are talking spiritual health inside of Youth Ministry Booster and we have been asking what we need.
What we really need is...
Discernment.
The collective effort to not ask, "what do we have planned?" but to seek what God might have for our ministry through story-telling, celebration, and noticings.
God's Plan.
It is something we have to be reminded about, like our almost 8 year history of podcasting. Back in 2015, our 'After 9' era, we were self-funded *resourceless* and attending our first conference in Texas with a pop-up banner, borrowed office chairs, and a bowl of gummy bears.
There is an invaluable lesson you can only learn when you feel like you have nothing,. It's the lesson about asking the right questions and discernment in youth ministry leadership.
So we hope this humorous and helpful reminder gives you hope.
